I'm getting the same error "Invalid digital signature for base string" and I'm using api.myspace.com . What did you mean "needed to make a few more userId replacements"?

New Post: Token authorization

qaz123 — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 19:04:31 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to write a desktop application that imports the friends for a given user from MySpace. I understood the OAuth protocol for authorizing access to MySpce. My question would be how can I get an session token for authorization because I cannot provide a callback url(being a desktop application) for retrieving the token from the first step. The toolkit doesn't seem to implement this.

New Post: Is this project dead?

afroblanco — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 15:29:21 GMT

Yeah, the project seems pretty dead to me. Whoever runs this project can't be bothered to answer the two questions that I posted.... and they're the ONLY TWO QUESTIONS IN THIS ENTIRE FORUM!

So yeah, I'm guessing dead.

Hi,

I was just wondering if this project was dead as there has been no activity recently because I don't want to base code on it to find out that its not going to evolve with the times.

Let me know,
Chris

NEW POST: Authentication works, but app doesn't run

afroblanco — Mon, 19 May 2008 15:23:45 GMT

Perhaps I'm confused, then.

When I look at the ASPX for the example project, I see all kinds of web controls and stuff. And when I look at the codebehind for the example project, I see event handlers for these webcontrols. When I load the application, shouldn't I be seeing all these nifty web controls? Instead, I get this weird XML readout that I don't really know what to do with.

Thanks for your help - I realize that we're kind of "pioneers" here.

Currently the toolkit only has the ability to communicate to the API and return XML. In the source tab you can download Changeset 9071 which contains more support for parsing the XML response and providing an object oriented approach.

However, you would still need to take the data response XML or the object associated with your call and layout and style the information accordingly.

Is this what you are trying to do? Display information in the canvas page?

Let me know.

Thanks!

Ok, it looks like I needed to make a few more userId replacements. It's not throwing an error anymore, but I still can't tell if it's working. Is this what I'm supposed to see when I visit my app?

I made this change, and I'm getting a different error now :

We are planning on coming out with an update to the toolkit soon. Until then the issue actually relates to the hostURL. You would need to set it to api.myspace.com instead of api.msappspace.com

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hello,

I'm trying to create the test application that ships with the MySpace Toolkit. I think I've set everything up properly. However, when I try to test my app, I get the following error :

<error>
<statuscode>401</statuscode>
<message>
Could not identify or did not find an approved authentication protocol. Check the targeted host and all necessary parameters.

Patch Uploaded

Elmar — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 19:09:57 GMT

Elmar has uploaded a patch.

Description:
This patch wraps the MySpace-Toolkit and automatically creates .NET Objects from JSON-strings. C# and .NET 3.5 only.
It uses the JSON.NET project - could potentially also be used to create the same objects from XML.
Note: Please delete the ELMAH reference, I just use it track exceptions in my projects.

UPDATED RELEASE: Release 1.0.0331.0

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 06:38:36 GMT

Release to include the ability to make calls directly to the MyspaceClient which will absctract the HTTP Post utility and allow for better usuability. Basic error handling will be included as well.

CREATED ISSUE: Abstract the PostUtility

joeweb — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 06:34:49 GMT

It would be great to abstract the HttpPostUtility class by including it in the MyspaceClient class.

joeweb — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 06:33:53 GMT
